BALANCING
THE B LADE
See Figure 18.
When sharpening,
care should be taken to keep the
blade
balanced.
An unbalanced
blade
will cause
excessive
vibration.
This vibration
will eventually
cause damage
to the mower, especially the motor.
To check the blade balance:
• Clamp
a screwdriver
horizontally
in a vise
as
shown.
NOTE: If a vise is not available,
a straight nail driven
into the side of a work bench can also be used.
• Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver
(or
nail) shank.
• If blade is balanced,
it will remain
in a horizontal
position.
If either end of the blade drops downward,
sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.
STORING THE MOWER
See Figure 19.
• Disconnect
the mower from the power supply.
• Turn mower on its side and clean grass
clippings
that have accumulated
on the underside
of the mower
deck.
• Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth.
• Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners,
etc.,
for tightness.
• Inspect
moving
parts for damage,
breakage,
and
wear. Have repairs made on any damaged or missing
parts.
• Store mower indoors in a clean, dry place out of the
reach of children.
• Do not store
near corrosive
materials
such
as
fertilizer or rock salt.

lift the sides of the lower handle past the edges of the
handle mounting
brackets.
• Fold the lower handle forward,
making sure not to
